w :~~ AIIILICULDOS PRtaRVATION. Battle between-a TigerlTO ; or, wonderful in stance of providential preservation, described in a letter ,?7,oPiwthe Capt.iin of:lfic Davenport Guineaman. Some time after, illy arrival at the British fac '7.lt6y; 'Cape tasta, ob - boardtin='; Poyemport Guinea-. min; I was sent for by the toinmodore, who was stationed in the Diana Frigate to protect the trade' of the place - befitre-iiii-ittiontd, and appoi:ited by bins to command a Sloop, ,employci on the service - of eonveying - slave;; teeth, gurn, '4(l:Other" tiler chandixe, from t;.re, Company's l 661:dries, situated_ -Seveial hunored rtiitts - iip the river Congo, down to the principal depot - at the Cape. The Sloop carried -s:x swivels ; and was manned with nine negroes, and kV() north' that ry seamen,- named Johnson and etimpb'ell, the former Of whom was my mate. After - orders relative to the duty in which I was . ;'-ent'ploVc-ti, we proceeded ,on otir‘VOyiige, and had 'iLi - vigated near fifty leagues up 'rho CUOMO', when 'irrrorziing' the breezes died away suddenly, and we were compelled, by ;a strting current, running, , agairist us, •to drop anchOr within a 'quarter of a mile .c,f ale sltore. In this situation the Sloop remained --for three days, during which time the „eh cumstances . fell out:I am about to communicate;--circumstances.. improbable in theMselves, so marvellous, as al 'most to border on impossibdity, but nevertheless declared by me, as a spectator, to be a most pt:rtett 'reality. To resume coy narrative—thC' bosom of -the deep appeared, .as it does in these parts, while • the cram e*tremely tranflnil, aril the heat, whiCh was intolerable, bad made us so languid, that - almost a general overcame us, on the approach of the evening, to bl , he its flie waters of Congo ; ltowever, myself and Johnson were'eleterreri from it, from the appiehension'of sharks, malty of which we bad observ,_ , l in the pr.oi - ess of our voyage, and those enormously large. At 'length Campbell, alone, who had been‘rnaking too free with his liquor • case, was obstinately gem on going overboard—and although- we used every means in air power to Our alade him to the contrary, dashed into the watery element, and had swam some .distance from the Viissel, when we on the deck discovered an alligator. making towards him from 'behind a rock that stood a short distance from the shdre : ,His escape I now considered • impossible, his destruction inevitable, and I applied to Johnson how 'l,,i;e should act, who, like myself, affirmed the impossibility r; t4.save him, and instantly seized upon a loaded cat:Tali:e to shoot the poor fellow, before befell into the laws of the monster. I did nor, however,' consent to this, but waited with horror the tragedy we anticipated—yet willing to do all in my power, I ordered the boat to •be hoisted, and - we fired two shot at the approaching alligator, but without eft - ea, for they glided over his Sealy covering like hail-stouts on a tiled penthouse, anti the progress of the creature was by no means, iml eded. - The report of the piece and the noise of the blacks in 1110 Sloop, made Campbell acquainted with his dajnger; he saw the creatitre making for him, and, with all the strength and r iU he was mas ter of; made for the shore. And now the moment arrived, in which a scene was exhibited beyond the power of my humble pen perfeelly to describe.— On approaching within a very short distance of some canes and shrubs that covered the bank, while closely pursued by the alligator, a fierce and " ferocious tyger sprang towards him, at , the instant the jaws of his first enemy were extended to devour • hirn. At this awful moment Campbell was pre served. The eager tyger,. by overleaping him, en countered the gripe of the amphibious monster.—A contba ensued between them—the water was co loured witifthe - bkodof the tyger, whose efforts to tear the scaly covering of the alligator were un- availing, while the lattef bad also _the advantage of • kpeping his adversary under watt , : 'by which the viaory was presently obtained, feicttl i ieltyger's death was now effeCted. They both ; €,44 , z(0. the bottom, and we "saw no more of theUigator. :.Campbell was recovered, and instantly Con.vaip4.on...board-; lie spoke not while in the .boa!', .11)4446:1 bixociatiger had perfettly sabered hint ; but tNe7 - ;ttricarrent he. ' ' w a i led on the deik, fell upon his knees, and re turned thanks to !he Providence who had so pro,- teeled-him, and, what - is more singular, from that, tooinent to the time I am writing, h has:never been son the least:intokicated, nor has been heard tp utter a single oath. •If eVer there wapsrfeetly reformed being in the universe, c:441:64,4 the man."

PARIS, AUG. 6.--••ZYie Otf.cial Journal contains tile following article :-- _ _ " The Putliciste. of the 20th of Jolt' asserts, on the authority of Foreign dournalo, that the Austrian troops were to evacuate Trieste and Fimpe, and that both these places were to be occupied by the troops of a great Power. This intelligence is false, and owes its origin to disaffedaed persons, who , wish to create disturbance, tc, exasperate a great Power, and to impel her to her own ruin, by inducing her to adopt a perverse system of policy. The French Journals ought to be more circumspe6t, and not circulate any absurd and ridiculous rumours merely on the autho rity of Foreign Papers. " The Journal de L' Empire says, that the Arch- Chancellor was to proceed to Germany to organize the troops of the Confederacy of the Rhine, thus involV- Mg the French Government in a misunderstanding with the allied States. Justice requires us to remark that this Journal says the intelligence was circulated in Germany; hut persons of judgment will observe, that reports translated from Foreign Journals into the French Papers acquire greater credit, and that the only ohjeet of such reports must be to excite envy and hatred against France.. Other Journals state, - that there are affairs of. great importance in discussion between the • Courts of Vienna and -Paris;. This is false. We have no thing to settle with the Court of Vienna. If that: Court is well directed, it will apply itself to heal its wounds, to .recruit its. finances •by wise Measures . ; and it •must be sensitole that a levy en-nias all.r.:.er; <iesiructive to a Government, and partic4lJr.y 7 td Government which has nothing but a paper •eur rency It is reported that American-vessels laded' with color 41 produce have entered' the -Austrian ports under' convoy of some English frigates. This is true; for under all circumstances, smugglers have found means to frustrate the -vigilance of the Con stituted Authorities; but the eotart.of• Vienna has taken measures to put an end to thisviolation of the laws, and to carry into complete execution' the regulations which itself established on the breaking Off of all commercial intercourse with England. " Other Journals talk of the • Expeditions which the English have sent to Sweden, consisting of 20,1400 men, who were to be landed there in the month of April. The season is now drawing to a close, and they have not yet thought of disembark ing them. The truth is, that General Moose has 8000 men, half English, half Germans, who have been for a month lying off Malmo. During this period, the Swedish frontiers have been ait,xic ed by the 'Danish army in Norway, and the Swedish troops have been every where defeat ed. Finland has been taken from them by the Russians, who, whatever may have been said, have not for a moment ceased to obtain the most brilliant advantages-, Most certainly, it is not 8000 men that the English ought to send to support their Ally. It ought to have been 50,000 men, provided they had them to bend. But, in short, the- 8000 men have been landed in Norway; they have joined the Swedish Expedition which attempted a landing at Abo, and were completely defeated by the Russians, or perhaps they have been landed in the North of Finland. It is unprecedented, that the army of an Ally should remain two months upon a coast with opt disembarking, and wait the result of a cainini4ik, Such things happen to - the English, and could hap pen to none but them. "The Journal de l'Empire, the above-mentioned Paper, of the 20th July, says, that the Pacha of Widdin has had an engagement with the Grand Vizir, and that from 3 to 4000 men were killed en both sides, and that the latter wasdefeated. HOW can men repeat such idle stories? It is in vain for the Journalist to say that he has copied this from') the Bayreuth Paper, a Paper of no credit, which has for several years been conducted at the pleasure of the agents of England, and edited by meri destitute of knowledge, understanding, and- namility. • The Gland .Vizir :has not-left Adrianople. The Pacha of Widdin consequently never was in a situation to have an engagement with him,. nor have they had any raisuuderstanding. " The Bayreuth Courant, however, is henceforth suppressed; it is a lying trumpet, which shall no longer excite disturbance on the Continent. It is to be wished that the Journalists, may take, warning from this salutary example. The mercantile classes, the peaceful citizens,- and the upright tradesmen, are entitled to demand justice against that band of in triguers-who are disposed to pervert , trutb, and 'al ways to-promote disturbance." • , • On the Bth of April 'died -at-Rio de Janeiro, whi ther :he had' accompanied the Royal Fatriily'and Go v?rnment of Portugal, his Excellency General J O HN kOHRES, of Skellator, in the, county of Aberdeen, in the 7Gth year of his age. 'He was the Senior Gene ral Officer in the Portuguese arMy, General and Go vernor of Rio de Janeiro, a Countillor of war, Gene• ral of Cavalry, and Knight Grand Croix of the illus trious Orders of: Avis,. in' .Portugal, and Carlos.lll. in Spain. This much-respeaed veteran was a Lieutenant at the siege of Mmstrich, in 1748 4 he served all those campaigns, as well as the seven years' war, at the conchisidn of which •he entered into the serVide of Portugal,.where he contributed much to the esta 7 blishing the taCtics of Frederic the Great (then intro duced into most of the armies of Europe) into the Portuguese army, under the immediate protthion • and friendship of Marshal Count .LA LIPPE. During a period of near 50 years he distinguished himself in that s 'country by his aElivity, hiS zeal, and his incorrup tible integrity, to which last circumstance it was per haps owing that he enjoyed uninterruptedly the fa vour of four succeeding .severeigns, The tears and unfeigned sorrow of the reigning Prince were the most affeCting testimonials of his attachment to the General, as_ the public and sincere regrets of the peo ple were of his real worth. He was indeed a vir-- tUous and an honourable, man ; and as a soldier;;, possessed undaunted courage, indefatigable activity promptitude,, and decision. • He commanded with reputation the ;Portuguse army in Roussillon at the commencement of the revolutionany war, and lie will hereafter be classed among those of 'our coun trymen who have added to the respe&ability ot ,the national charatter among foreigners. , . , thio‘Vir from his head, - he 'recoflit9ed that he bad -dirk and 'a sword; Vv . .ieh he had, on a • former - occ a• sion, held Ito' the breast_ of Mr. Naglee, and whic h ' at that time, answered his en d.

We this day present to our Readers an account of an inieresi ing Trial which has recently taken place, and 'which has excited the inure attention, in consequence of its haying been taken up by the American Government, and urged with all the zeal and perseverance which could be wished . by the corrupter and conqueror of the World. (FROM THZ UNITID STATE?. GAZETTE.) A case occurred on Monday, in the Court- of:, Quarter Sessions, which excited some amusement, and considerable •satisfaEtion. Italy, and Switzer.f.,H land;and Holland, and Portugal, and Spain, have I all, ali fallen before the power ofNapoleon, and it is now our turn to present a rich repast to the maw of this devourer of empires. - The blow which was aimed has been arrested by the spirit and the nerve bf an American Jury. Buonaparte has now an . oc casion furnished to him, which should afford him serious reflection ; and if his reasoning be cool 'apd correct, he will find that America is not lo•be stab- slued while such feelings and sentiments, as the dis cussion of Monday produced, glow in the bosoms of our countrymen. In the fall of the year 1806 a Swedish Schooner, with a cargo of considerable value, both owned by a Swedish subjea, and under the care of Mr. John Naglee, an American Supercargo, sailed from, this port to the Isle of Cuba. In the voyage she was ,captured by the •Privateer Dolphin, commanded by Captain Brouvard. This is the mare who owns the vessel which lately entered the port of Philadelphia,' and, under the pv-tence of wanting provisions and repairs for a long cruize, was furnished by. our Go vernment with those articles, which the embargo laws prevent our own citizens from carrying toeach other. -.1 WbEn Captain Brouvard captured the Schooner, the usual scenes of outrage and atrocity were com 'witted; which in thiS age of " the freedom of the seas," accompany all French captures: 'Pistols, and swords, and sabres, were exhibited to alarm the fears of the crew, and to ,shew the power of French- . men: The Schooner was then plundered, and sent to Baracoa, a.port in the island of Cuba, Here a netv'scenebY plunder occurr=ed, and before any pro ceedings were instituted to procure the cor,detn nation of the vessel, one-half of the.cargo was smug gled on shore, as well to avoid the restoration of it in case of an acquittal, as to defrapd, ,the Govern- : mcnt of the dutieS. ''An, attempt was made by Captain Brouvard, with the aid of a file of soldiers, to seize.and imprison- the Supercargo,,,who, finding his life in danger, applied to the -.Governor ~of the port, who was a Spaniard, and who ithmedlately Interfered to rescue Mr. Naglee from the fangs of the Frenchman. The Schooner was then ordered to tl'e city of St. Domingo, where she soon after' arrived. Mr. - Naglee, appNbensive of his life, -if; he went in the Schooner, took hi 4 passage in .aft other vessel ; and at great expence,. and with con siderable. difficulty, follo-wed her, but not in suffi cient time to save his property. Before. he arrived his vessel' and cargo were delivered up to Brouvard, and his only solicitude was to provide for his return to his borne. 13rouvard had robbed. him of a pair of pistols, which it was his wish to regain, and for that pur pose he applied to hhn, but. without success. He then made an application to General Ferrand, who commanded at the city of St.. Domingo, and ..Brou v,srd was ordered by bitTi to restore the pleitolsa„—.... After some time they ‘kere returned to Mr. Naglee, but the case in which they were contained was cut and defaced—the locks of the pistols were broken, and the barrels filled with slush ! But, such as they were, they w:ere the remnant of his property; and he found himself now reduced, by the villainy of Brouvard, from a state of comfort to that of beggary. He smarted under a sense of his wrongs, v . e , and when he was about to leaveSt , St. Domingon is do return tb Philadelphia, he seized an .opportunity to say . to Brouvard ; " am nOW in your must submit to it ; but if I ever catch . you in any. part of the United States,,except Christ's Church,' Bate my revenge." Two years elapsed and the time for revenge ar rived ; Brouvard entered the port of Philadelphia a . short time since, after having plundered . an Arne rican.vessel at, sea, „and, occasioned the death of a respe&able passenger, 'Mr. Campbell, and three or four the &cis , . Here Ins vessel was ordered to be . repaired, and by the orders of our Government, an, unnecessary quantity of provisions was furnished' . him, while, at the same time, and by the same or ders, the - cifizens were prohibited, from receiving froM their sister Slates eVen.a barrel of flour ! While, the Schooner was repairing at the ship-yard, Brou vark'accompaned.by the French Vice-Consul and a Fienchman, and dressed in. his eniform, went to inspect her. They were met in the, street, by -Mr., Naglee, who, addressing himself to Brouvard, sa id,, "-How do you do, Sir i" Brouvard replied, ; " Very well; Sir, I thank you." " I suppose," said Mr..: Naglee, " you do not rernember-tue." " Oh, oui,. tres lien," said litouvard i and held out his hands as if to greet, him. Niglee instantly seized them in his left hand, and proceeded to take his promised re venge. He struck Brouvard " several severe blows, when the Vice-Consul interfered, either as a peace maker, or as a partizan.of Brouvard. His own tes timony was, that he interposed, in the former capa city, and laid a gentle hand upon each, for the pur pose of parting them; and in this statement he was strengthened by the oath of the Frenchman who accompanied him and ,Broevard. The witnesses for Naglee, however; liad _another. story to tell.— They swore that, the Vice-Consul seized Naglee alone violently by the collar. This latter story,.it is presumed, was the impression of Naglee, for find ing himself attacked from behind, : he took-the pre caution of extending Brouvard 'on the grpund by,. one honest lloux, and then turned .to defend himself' from his assailant. Not . much, hOwever i was ; ne?-' cessary for this purpose, ,he gave the great Napo leon's Vice-Consul one blow in the stoma& and. P.. t he Vice-Consul fell. Having thus defended himself from an assault, he. proceeded to perform the promise which he had made to Brouvard at St. Domingo, which he exe cuted to his own latisfadtion, and, we hope, Co the satisfaaion of his .countrymen. After Brouvard had - been beaten a second time, his epatilettes covered with dust, ,and his tremendous cockade ingloriously 0 ! what a fall was there, my countrymen I" Tr farm 014 I', at the friars.
